Strong's Lexicon ud: To bear witness, to testify, to warn, to admonish Original Word: אוּד Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3140 (μαρτυρέω - martyreō): To bear witness, to testify - G1263 (διαμαρτύρομαι - diamartyromai): To testify earnestly, to charge Usage: The Hebrew verb "ʿud" primarily means to bear witness or to testify. It is often used in contexts where a formal declaration or testimony is given, either in a legal setting or as a form of admonition. The word can also imply the act of warning or exhorting someone, often with a sense of urgency or solemnity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of bearing witness was integral to maintaining justice and truth. Testimonies were crucial in legal proceedings, and the reliability of witnesses was highly valued. The act of testifying was not only a legal duty but also a moral and religious obligation, as it was seen as upholding God's truth and commandments. Prophets often served as witnesses to God's covenant, warning the people of the consequences of disobedience.
